I truly believe that making these important changes to the way we move around the Rock are the future if we want to safeguard the environment, encourage a healthier lifestyle and enjoy the benefits of greater traffic flow. Work in this area started some time ago when Gibraltar introduced the free bus service to encourage users to leave their own vehicles at home, thereby decongesting our roads and reducing the effects of pollution. I am happy to see there has been a steady increase in users of this service. We will continue this work with the imminent introduction of Redibikes, our bicycle hire scheme, giving users another option of sustainable transport that provides added health benefits. The Government is determined to reduce the impact of transport operations on the environment. With this in mind, we will move towards procuring more electric and hybrid vehicles for Government departments, where possible. My own official car, G1, is electric. Others will follow. The health of our nation is also my concern. Using alternative transport, such as cycling, or by walking, as I do to work daily, helps promote a better wellbeing. In Gibraltar, we have the advantage that most distances between points are relatively short. There is often no need to jump in a car or hop on a motorbike to get to our destination. By taking the healthier alternative, we are also encouraging our children to do the same. It is vital that they become aware now of how changes to the way we move will improve their world in the future. Gibraltar Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan Final Document The STTPP is a real plan – an all-encompassing plan. It is an authoritative and well-researched document covering all aspects of the effects that transport will have on our lives and our environment. It is also a plan that will evolve with us, just as our lifestyles evolve. This is a plan that should be embraced by us all as it is important for Gibraltar, its economy and our health. I would like to thank those who have worked towards producing this plan for our future and I thank you for reading it and the interest you have shown in becoming a part of its development. The Hon. Fabian Picardo MP Chief Minister of Gibraltar Gibraltar Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan Final Document It gives me great pleasure to be able to present HM Government of Gibraltar’s, Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan (STTPP). This project is a key manifesto commitment for the GSLP / Liberal Government. A study of this magnitude has never been conducted locally with regards to Traffic and Transport together with its effects on our environment as a whole in a way that is scientific and solid in its grounding. The Plan has seen a multi-departmental team approach involving the Ministries of Infrastructure and Planning, (Traffic & Transport) and the Environment. The research and preparatory background for this extensive document has seen many months of painstaking groundwork and research, something which I am eternally grateful to those within the Traffic Team, the Technical Services Department, the Department of Education and other members of the Civil Service for, who embarked on weeks of data collection, questionnaires and surveys to be able to provide the basal statistics required for such a plan. The work has encompassed a very wide consultation process across the board. Opinions and feedback was sought from a wide sector of the community including, members of the public, NGO’s, commercial entities and associations, Tenant’s Associations, other interest groups, schoolchildren, essential services and of course the road user, often each with competing interests. Our Traffic Consultants Mott MacDonald who are world-wide professionals in this field have provided the technical expertise to complement the wealth of professional knowledge that already existed within the Technical Services Department and have been instrumental. The Plan has considered everything from the needs of children and vulnerable groups within our society to the needs of businesses and visitors alike. No plan will ever be able to satisfy every Gibraltar Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan Final Document sectors’ interests and there will be a need to find many happy mediums going forward. Key improvements in the use of public transport will no doubt provide a more reliable service with improved journey times and higher levels of punctuality, which I am certain, will be welcomed by its users. No stone has been left unturned in order to formulate a plan that we will be proudly able to call our own, Gibraltar’s Plan, your plan. Using the most innovative and latest techniques we have developed the tools by means of digital traffic modelling to help us predict the reaction and behavior of traffic following a proposal for change. That is, we may now start to analyse what effect a proposed change will be likely to have with respect to traffic flow before we even carry it out. This plan is clearly a live document, one that will evolve and grow with us. As Gibraltar grows and our needs change, so will it too. It is our intention that the Plan be a fluid plan, one that is malleable to our needs. I am personally satisfied that this has been in fact achieved and that all the work done will see a truly valuable result that we can all be proud of. Not all the concepts within the Plan will be achievable, some will require further work, others may be economically unviable and others may simply never come to be, at least not at this moment in time. But the Plan will hopefully open our minds to the vast potential that exists for improvement, and for the need to change our mindsets in the future. But, change is change, and human nature does not adapt easily to change at first. With time, I trust that we as a Community will all be able to appreciate the bigger picture and will begin to understand that things have to change if we are to make inroads into our health, our environment and our wellbeing making Gibraltar an attractive place to live, work, visit and do business in, in the future. The plan is hence, simply that, a plan. There are general principles, aims and targets set, and ideas for potential pilot schemes for us to explore, some relatively inexpensive to carry out, others more ambitious. This is by no means a finite list and we will be developing further ideas and plans in the future as we evolve as a people. Traffic and its management is not an exact science but our ideas, we believe will be exciting, brave and innovative. With time, it will hopefully change the way that we live so that we can improve sustainability. Gibraltar has an extremely high vehicle occupancy rate per capita, yet our largest constraint is our size. Reducing our reliance on private transport, our beloved cars and motorbikes, will be one of the hardest things to achieve but through encouragement, education and perseverance perhaps we may be able to achieve a change in the way that we move. By sharing vehicles, either by means of our buses, public services or through other more innovative ideas such as car- sharing for example, we may be able to evolve. We cannot forget the importance of walking and cycling with regards to our traffic and our environment but also the undeniable and positive effect that it has on our general health, fitness and physique. Changing our mindset, especially one that spans so many generations, when our cars were an extension of our very own living room, our only means of independence and freedom, our “rite of passage” at a time when many generations shared one single flat will be one of the most Gibraltar Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan Final Document challenging hurdles to overcome. This is something that will task our generation and those in the future. As science develops so too will our means of local travel. Already we are seeing how hybrid and electric vehicles are slowly becoming more prominent in our society and we need to further encourage the use of these. I greatly value and appreciate the public support that we have received so far and sincerely hope that we will continue to have the same support as we now embark on the next stage of the plan, its implementation in earnest. The Hon. Paul J. Balban MP Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Gibraltar Sustainable Traffic, Transport and Parking Plan Final Document Our quality of life and our health are hugely influenced by what we do with transport. While the use of vehicles clearly improves our mobility and hence our access to work, services and recreation, emissions from burning fuel just as clearly adversely affect our health.

  • Interior Noise Reduction Approach for Monorail System

Nine samples out of three materials were subjected for noise test and the performance of each sample was observed. It is found that all of these samples have proved to reduce a significant amount noise at low and high frequencies even though the amount reduced differ from one sample to another. It is also been noticed that this reductions were denominated by means of absorption for some samples such as those from rubber material, and it was dominated by means of reflection for some others such as those from aluminum composite and paper composite. Moreover, from these different acoustic properties of each material, the whereabouts to install every material is different as well. It was suggested that, the rubber material should be installed on the upper floor of the monorail while, the paper composite should be installed under floor, and the aluminum composite should be installed at the outer parts from the monorail such as the apron door, ceiling, etc. However, despite their promising potential to reduce noise, there were few uncertainties with some samples at certain frequency, for example samples from aluminum composite could not reduce noise at 1250 Hz which denotes that it is not a good practice to use this material at that frequency.

  • Road Transport Infrastructure
    © IEA ETSAP - Technology Brief T14 – August 2011 - www.etsap.org Road Transport Infrastructure HIGHLIGHTS TECHNOLOGY STATUS - Road transport infrastructure enables movements of people and goods within and between countries. It is also a sector within the construction industry that has demonstrated significant developments over time and ongoing growth, particularly in the emerging economies. This brief highlights the different impacts of the road transport infrastructure, including those from construction, maintenance and operation (use). The operation (use) phase of a road transport infrastructure has the most significance in terms of environmental and economic impact. While the focus in this phase is usually on the dominant role of tail-pipe GHG emissions from vehicles, the operation of the physical infrastructure should also accounted for. In total, the road transport infrastructure is thought to account for between 8% and 18% of the full life cycle energy requirements and GHG emissions from road transport. PERFORMANCE AND COSTS - Energy consumption, GHG emissions and costs of road transport infrastructure fall broadly into the three phases: (i) construction, (ii) maintenance, and (iii) operation (decommissioning is not included in this brief). The construction and maintenance costs of a road transport infrastructure vary according to location and availability of raw materials (in general, signage and lighting systems are not included in the construction costs). GHG emissions resulting from road construction have been estimated to be between 0.37 and 1.07 ktCO2/km for a 13m wide road – depending on construction methods. Maintenance over the road lifetime (typically 40 years) can also be significant in terms of costs, energy consumption and GHG emissions.

  • The Red Plaques of Gibraltar
    THE RED PLAQUES OF GIBRALTAR This document has been compiled by: Julia Harris Contact on: [email protected] Date completed: May 2014 THANKS TO: - Gail Francis-Tiron for her help when needed - Pepe Rosado for reading this and making his valued comments - Claire Montado for giving me some of the older photos to use - My parents for their gentle ‘reminders’ to get this finished and proof reading! INTRODUCTION: These cast iron red plaques were placed around Gibraltar between 1959 and 1975 in possibly the first attempt to present the rocks history to visitors and residents. They were the work of the Gibraltar Museum Committee which at the time was under the chairmanship of the Hon. Mrs Dorothy Ellicott O.B.E., J.P. (see appendix III). Modern information boards will perhaps replace them (see ‘Future’ section below), but I hope this will not happen. They are their own piece of Gibraltar’s history. When I first noticed and started taking photos of these red plaques I looked for a record of how many there were to find. After speaking to The Heritage Trust and Tourist Board I was told there was not an up to date, completed list. So, here is mine, consisting of 49 plaques, some in situ, some not. There could be more around the rock, or in storage, as there are details of up to 53 in a document attached, dated October 1977, (see Appendix I). From this list there are 43 that I have found and are on mine, another 10 I did not find (some I know have been removed from site with no details of where they are stored) and there are 4 that I found that are not on it.

  • Noise Mapping – European Noise Directive Consultation
    NOISE MAPPING AND PUBLIC CONSULTATION UNDER THE EUROPEAN NOISE DIRECTIVE (END) The European Council Directive relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise is intended to provide a common approach across the European Union to avoid, prevent and reduce, on a prioritised basis, the harmful effects of exposure to environmental noise from transportation and industrial sources. This Directive commonly known as the European Noise Directive (END) was transposed into local law by the Environmental (Assessment and Management of Noise) Regulations 2006. It is a requirement of the Directive for Member States to produce strategic noise maps for the following:- 1) Agglomerations with more than 250000 inhabitants. 2) Major roads with more than 3000000 vehicle passages a year. 3) Major railways with more than 60000 train passages per year; and 4) Major airports with more than 50000 movements per year. Locally the Directive only applies to noise from major roads, and therefore this consultation is specifically on noise from major roads. Traffic flow studies have identified that seven major roads namely, Queensway, Winston Churchill Avenue, Devils Tower Road, Line Wall Road, Europa Road, Glacis Road and Rosia Road each exceed 3000000 vehicles passage a year. Strategic noise maps for these roads have already been produced. These give details of the daytime and nighttime noise levels along these roads. These maps are used to assess the number of people potentially annoyed and sleep disturbed and form the basis for the preparation of an Action Plan to manage noise issues from traffic on these roads. What are noise maps? Noise maps are maps designed for the assessment of noise exposure in a given area or for overall predications of noise for such an area.
